Background

UFC 132 was originally set to feature a rematch between B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch, but both were forced to withdraw because of injuries.[4]

Evan Dunham was expected to face George Sotiropoulos at the event,[5] but was forced off the card with an injury and replaced by Rafael dos Anjos.[6]

Jason Miller was scheduled to face Aaron Simpson at this event.[7] However, Miller was removed from the card after accepting a coaching position on The Ultimate Fighter 14, and replaced by Brad Tavares.[8]

Cub Swanson was expected to face Erik Koch at this event, but was forced from the bout with an injury.[9] Koch was instead moved to UFC Fight Night 25 to take on Jonathan Brookins.[10]

UFC 132 featured two preliminary fights live on Spike TV[11] and the remainder of the preliminary bouts streamed on Facebook.[12]
